Anodising is a method of increasing corrosive resistance in non-ferrous metals, and is most commonly used in the treatment of aluminium. The material may be treated prior to the process, usually by sanding and priming the surface, before an electrical current is passed through an electrolytic solution, with the aluminium item acting as an anode. Improve Aluminium The process is used on a wide variety of aluminium products and items, and its primary benefit is that it improves the corrosive resistance of the material; especially important for products that will be used in damp and wet conditions, but that need to retain their strength and integrity. As such, it is not uncommon to anodise bike parts, including wheels and brakes, or in the manufacture or improvement of climbing equipment and accessories. In most instances, aluminium is chosen because of its lightweight nature, but without further treatment, it may be prone to corrosion.http://bit.ly/21qZzhW

About Me

Andrew in 1985 at the age of 17 acquired a precious metal plating company based in the jewellery quarter in Hockley. Initially he worked alongside the former owner for 12 months learning his trade and developing a new and more diverse customer base.

Within the first five years he was successful in growing from a small sole trader to a very profitable enterprise with 15 full time staff.

As the business continued to grow, new premises were acquired in Hockley Street, allowing for further expansion. In 1993 a soldering business was purchased in order to compliment their existing offering.

In 1998 Andrew decided to consolidate all of his businesses and relocate them to a purpose built factory in Digbeth.

Over the next 5 years he continued to grow organically and in 2003 Andrew took over Badger Anodising (Bham) Limited an already well established brand in the Midlands.

Since that time Andrew who is known for his forward thinking and relentless work ethic has continued to take the business from strength to strength.
